These are saved observations about business performance, not predictions. Review the company filings alongside the interpretation below. Latest stored financial period end: 2026-08-01.
Total debt increased 165.8% versus the same quarter last year.
Compare the added borrowing with available cash, cash generation and maturities. A percentage increase from a small starting balance can look large without measuring the full debt burden.

Company-specific research
Questions worth answering for DY
Research inputs 100% complete
These questions are generated from this company's current financial and score data so the page adds context instead of treating the headline score as a stand-alone conclusion.
•Can DY maintain its current revenue growth rate and improve the amount of that revenue that turns into earnings and cash?
•Is DY's positive free cash flow repeatable, or is the current level being helped by temporary working-capital or spending changes?
•Is DY's debt load manageable relative to cash generation, interest costs and upcoming maturities?
•Is DY's valuation discount tied to a temporary concern or to a longer-term business risk?
•What does the current fundamental change risk warning mean for the reliability or interpretation of DY's score?
Two different market-behavior signals. Momentum measures direction and trend strength. Volatility measures how large and unstable the price moves are, regardless of direction.
A high momentum score means price has been trending upward with confirming short- and medium-term strength. A low score means downward or weakening momentum.
Volatility = How violently is it moving?
A high volatility score means larger, less stable price swings. It can happen while a stock is rising or falling, so high volatility is not automatically bullish or bearish.
Important: the volatility score above is based on realized price volatility. Implied volatility (IV) comes from options prices and represents the market's expected future movement. Wall Street Score will keep IV separate and will only display it when a verified options-chain feed is available.
